<<< I found the following two sugars in my SuperTarget store.
Maybe they
are in one near you too.
Billington's: Dark Brown Molasses Sugar and Light Brown Muscovado Sugar
I found them in the sugar/flour baking supplies section. For a pound
they run about two dollars less than Williams-Sonoma.
I like both for their flavor. When working with a medieval recipe
calling for black sugar - I use the dark brown molasses sugar. When
calling just for sugar - I tend to use the light brown muscovado sugar.
You should try them in your recipes instead of plain white. It adds
a whole new level of flavor. >>>
